Annually, the FSB conducts a senior survey of graduates to learn of their employment status. In addition, information is verified using LinkedIn and employer survey information. The data you are provided (‘FSB_BI_Survey_2019_2021.rds’) contains data on graduates for 2019, 2020, and 2021. The data are merged from two sources: the senior survey, and data from the Miami University database. The data had many data points containing lots of information on graduates. However, the data set was then cleaned and prepared for analysis, and in the proccess much of the variables were removed in order to keep only the relevant data points to the question at hand.
We intend to determine if there is correlation between student internships and job placement for students at the Farmer School of Business. Using the data provided by the client (Mr. Kirk Bogard), we will conduct a graphical analysis to determine if there is a relationship. Ideally, we can provide a chart or graph of our findings in order to provide an easy visualization for students, career services staff, and prospective donors to understand the value that internships have upon post-graduate job placement. Thus, the primary goals are to determine the relationship between internships and post-grad job placement and communicate the results of the analysis in an easy to comprehend format that conveys the findings accurately.
Following the graphical analysis seen in the plots provided in the other pages of this dashboard, it can be seen that internships do have some sort of connection with job placement. For one, it is worth noting that the vast majority of students (1966 out of 2182 students) had at least one internship during their college career. Out of those 1966, 1649 of them received at least one job offer. On the other hand, for those few students who did not have internships, 107 of them received a job offer, while 109 didn’t. This tells a few things of importance about FSB students. The overwhelming majority of them have some sort of internship during their undergraduate studies, and the likelihood those students also received a job offer is significantly higher than in those students who don’t. Within our dashboard, the relationship between internships and job offers, and these variables individually, are explored in a few ways, including drilling down into the data to see how it affects different majors. In all majors, similar trends are observed.
